I'm frankly neurotic about downloading from trusted sources (mostly because 
if something breaks, I can't fix it.) Who's responsible for that site? Can 
they, in fact, be trusted?

Also, what about the openssh-server, openssh-clients, openssh-askpass, and 
other RPMs? Are they also necessary and provided? Or does that RPM contain 
the whole kit and caboodle? Will it play nice with other RH RPMS? (As in, 
when RedHat makes an upgrade will we have the whole Epoch war like Ximian did?)

Make that $0.04 cents, since I fully agree with you. Maybe we oughta keep a 
running tally, or just petition RH for this. It seems like such a 
blindingly obvious no-brainer that, out of faith, I must *assume* they've 
already planned to do this for the next release. Still, never hurts to be sure.
